What do we want? More veggies! When do we want them? Now! Our chefs heard the call and delivered big time with these veggie-packed bowls. Rest assured that the toppings are plenty, filling, and screaming with flavor. For instance, there’s edamame (a great source of plant-powered protein) that’s covered in a crispy miso butter coating, and tender pan-roasted carrots slicked with a sweet soy glaze. To balance out the richness, there’s a tangy punch from quick-pickled cucumbers. The toppings are all piled onto a bountiful base of shredded red cabbage and springy mixed greens with a creamy sesame dressing. Finish with a sprinkle of crunchy peanuts and fresh cilantro and you’ve got yourself a riot of colors and textures—all in one bowl!

Cooking Steps
• Quarter cucumber lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim, peel, and cut carrots into ½-inch-thick rounds. TIP: Halve any larger carrots lengthwise; slice into half-moons.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings), ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), and a big pinch of salt until sugar and salt are dissolved. • Stir in cucumber; set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add edamame and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Stir in miso sauce concentrate, 1 tsp cucumber pickling liquid (2 tsp for 4 servings), and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Cook, stirring, until edamame is coated and crispy, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Transfer edamame to one side of a plate to cool.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. • Remove pan from heat. Add a quarter packet of sweet soy glaze (half a packet for 4 servings); stir to coat. • Transfer carrots to opposite side of plate from edamame. TIP: Refrigerate plate to cool veggies more quickly.
• While veggies cool, roughly chop cilantro. Roughly chop peanuts. • In a second small bowl, whisk together sesame dressing, mayonnaise, and as much remaining sweet soy glaze as you like until smooth.
• Once veggies are cooled, in a large bowl, toss cabbage and mixed greens with as much dressing as you like. • Divide salad between bowls. Top with pickled cucumber (draining first), carrots, and edamame in separate sections. Drizzle any remaining dressing over top. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was a classic. Seemed a waste of effort and we looked every night and decided to defer to later in the week as we just could not get into it. Well the day finally came to prepare and from what seemed like a bag of disjointed ingredients came a bloody masterpiece. The carrot alone blew us away with the flavor, not to mention the star of the dish. Edamame, whose prep created another legendary combination of wholesome and tasty.
Add instructions to dry edamame before frying as they came wet in bag and never crisped up in the pan. Also, provide more or bigger cucumbers for pickling as they were one of the best parts of recipe but were too few to overcome creaminess of overall dish.
MY ALL TIME FAVE! Absolutely love the edamame prep with the crunchy miso flavor and the salad was so bright. Wish more salad was provided but a great one! My fave so far!
Loved the flavors on this one and how easy it was to prep the garnishes and dressing while the edamame and carrots cooked.
This was probably my favorite so far. Loved the dressing and really liked how the carrots and edamame were cooked. So fresh and easy!
This meal was fantastic. I loved the soy-glazed sauce. This was so nutritious and filling, although I almost ate both servings at once because it was so good.
It was good. In retrospect I wish I had used some of the pickling liquid in the dressing. The whole salad could have benefitted from a little more brightness. Also I thought the edamame was supposed to crisp up but they didn't...still good though.
The miso edamame and the soy glaze carrots are chef's kiss. I wanted more and more!
Great mix of textures and flavors. We added some beets to the glazed carrots, and it turned out wonderfully
The cucumber was frozen and unusable when the food arrived. I liked this meal but it was a bit fussy, with both the soy glaze and the salad dressing, plus having to cook the edamame and carrots separately.
